Still Waters Posted June 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2019 A collection of love letters written by singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen to his lover and muse Marianne Ihlen have sold at auction for $876,000 (£692,190). Many items from the archive sold for more than five times their pre-sale estimates, according to Christie's. One letter, expected to fetch $10,000 (£7,900), went for $56,250 (£44,445). The top lot in the five-day online auction was an Italian bronze bell that hung in the home Cohen and Ihlen once shared on the Greek island of Hydra. A new documentary about the couple - Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love - is released in the UK on 26 July. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48634983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
